The human mitotic arrest-deficient 2 (Mad2) binding protein p31(comet) participates in the spindle checkpoint and coordinates cell cycle events in mitosis although its function in meiosis remains unknown in all organisms. Here, we reveal p31(comet) as a synaptonemal complex (SC) protein in rice (Oryza sativa L.). In p31(comet), homologous pairing and synapsis are eliminated, leading to the homologous nondisjunction and complete sterility. The failure in loading of histone H2AX phosphorylation (.H2AX) in p31(comet), together with the suppressed chromosome fragmentation in rice completion of meiotic recombination 1 (com1) p31(comet) and radiation sensitive 51c (rad51c) p31(comet) double mutants, indicates that p31(comet) plays an essential role in double-strand break (DSB) formation. Interestingly, the dynamic colocalization pattern between p31(comet) and ZEP1 (a transverse filament protein of SC) by immunostaining, as well as the interaction between p31(comet) and CENTRAL REGION COMPONENT 1 (CRC1) in yeast two-hybrid assays, suggests possible involvement of p31(comet) in SC installation. Together, these data indicate that p31(comet) plays a key role in DSB formation and SC installation, mainly through its cooperation with CRC1.
